Copper is a gender-neutral English name that signifies "Chemical Element; Red/Brown Color." The name is derived from the Latin word cuprum, which means the metal of Cyprus. Copper is a soft, malleable, and ductile metal with high thermal and electrical conductivity. Its freshly exposed surface has a pinkish-orange color and oxidizes to form a green patina. Historically, copper has been used in various applications, including as a conductor of heat and electricity, in building materials, and as a constituent of metal alloys. It is also essential to living organisms as a trace dietary mineral due to its role in respiratory enzymes. Copper has been mined and used by humans for thousands of years, with evidence of its use dating back to 8000 BC. Today, it continues to be a vital material in electrical wiring, electronics, machinery, and more.
